Chute

About

Chute is a macOS application that speeds up file transfers from Mac to iPhone by transforming the Mac's notch into a direct portal for sending content. It helps Mac users send screenshots, links, files and text to their iPhone faster than using AirDrop's standard share sheet. Users drag content to the notch and it sends via AirDrop before the standard share sheet would open.

Competitors: AirDrop, Handoff, Continuity Camera, Yoink, Mercury Weather
